You don't have to be a bolshevik to support universal healthcare. Or a socialist. Just a decent human being who cares for other people and doesn't think that relieving suffering should depend on your ability to pay.
Michael Bennet: I really am a Bolshevik. I believe we should provide universal healthcare to all Americans as a right. There is no reason not to do it in the richest country in the world, especially if we can do it at half of the cost of care we are providing now.

This is the Canadian Premier League soccer finals and we have a bicycle kick goal in the middle of a blizzard … and that’s the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😂

The word "evil" is often overused to describe people with whom we disagree. But I can find no other word to describe ICE agents seizing a day care teacher in front of young children. At an age when teachers are beloved, they will be traumatized by this - and lose trust in adults. Evil.

this truly is the thing that brings me real joy because this is the piece that’s replicable everywhere. if enough of us show up, their millions of dollars in dark money, bribes and attack ads accomplish nothing. Mamdani is clearly a generational talent but he won’t be the only one we find if we look
The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Never had this happen before, but today my students came early to class to talk abt the election results. A reminder, I think, that people need hope, but they especially need it *in community*. A shared hope like this has the potential to take on a life of its own —to become truly transformative.

It is horrific that they would do this (at all, but also) in front of children, and by the way, if she is an employee, this probably leaves the children below the required adult-to-child ratio at a day care. Spectacular failure of both critical thinking and human decency in immigration enforcement.

If you live in Britain, your experience of 21st century government has been relentless escalating calamities by ruling parties: disastrous wars, financial catastrophe, destructive austerity, plummeting living standards, soaring prices, unaffordable housing, constant lying and comical incompetence.

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.
